We've become developer productivity obsessed, worse, developer productivity METRICS obsessed. How often do we deploy apps? How many story points did we complete? What's our MTTR? What's the network admins eNPS? An obsession with developer productivity is good at small doses, but it becomes a distraction when taken too far. And, besides, who is this focus on productivity really benefit? In this talk, I'll first give an overview of the latest in developer productivity metrics. Second, I'll go over some techniques to avoid descending into metrics madness. Finally, I'll go over what we should be paying more attention to instead of productivity.
Individual and team productivity metrics will likely lead to worse outcomes due to Braess's paradox. Some developers who may seem unproductive may be a team's cornerstone, and rockstar programmers may actually be causing a net slowdown of the team.
If we combine this with bullshit jobs, it may surprisingly cancel out by getting rockstar developers out of the way by promoting them to management.
So happy I don't have to deal with any of this crap anymore. Good luck to you all who're still grinding while those that don't make your grind even harder.
